At Marvel'sCup O' Joe panel today, mushy writer Neil Gaiman announced that Marvel would finally be bringing his Miracleman run back into print, including the never published Miracleman #25, which was completed years ago but has never been seen because comic book creators such as Gaiman and Todd McFarlane have been fighting like babies over the rights for years. It's not clear yet exactly what format the comics will be published in, but it looks like it will be more than one volume, if not single issues or a combination of the two, since Joe Quesada said that the return would "begin" in January and culminate in the release of Miracleman #25.

To celebrate, Joe Quesada drew a Miracleman cover which, in a rare move for the Marvel Chief Creative Officer, does not feature a character who looks like he's taking a poop, although it is highly possible that Miracleman is indeed constipated in the image, which you can view below. In response to the news, another former Miracleman writer, Alan Moore, reportedly cast a curse on everyone involved.

After the video, Quesada told the still excited crowd that MiracleMan's return, starting with the long out of print material and culminating in the ending of Gaiman's incomplete arc, will begin in January 2014.

To me it sounds like to me that they will be reprinting starting with Moore's run, either via single issues monthly... or via collections, and ending with Gaiman's never-completed run.

I was reading Marvelman when it was being published in Warrior and had to suffer the agonising wait when 'Marveldog' appeared before a powerless Mick Moran and the seemingly endless wranglings before Eclipse took the series up and continued the story.

Alan Moore's run was brilliant - up to a point. I will say his re-imagining of MM was one of the best things I've ever read in comics. His explanation for MM's hokey origin & original run of stories was genius.

Once he got rid of the Moran persona & Gargunza, I felt the series lost vital elements. Then Moore seemed to get really pretentious (I got very pissed off with, for example, Marvel/Miracleman & Woman dancing among the stars - ugh). I thought the whole take on MM being like a God was dogshit. Then after Moore it got even worse.

Interested to see what new stuff Marvel come up with. I'm sure it was rumoured that he would first appear in Guardians of the Galaxy.

I dunno if I would want Marvel/ Miracle Man to interact with the regular Marvel characters yet-maybe down the line when he is fully reintroduced and then have him meet the current Captain Marvel.
